Glossary (Concrete). 1) Harden: to make sharp, as in outline. 2) Stonelike: resembling rock in hardness. 3) Water-and-fire-resisting: impervious to or unaffected by water or fire. 4) Compressive: serving to or able to compress. 5) Tensile Strength: the resistance of a material to a force tending to tear it apart, measured as the maximum tension the material can withstand without tearing. 6) Poured: to make (a liquid or granular solid) stream or flow, as from a container. 7) Fusing: to become mixed or united. 8) Volcanic - ash: fine pyroclastic material; particle diameter is less than 4 millimeters. 9) Brick Ribbling: is a framework or structure of bricks. 10) Sewerage: removal of waste materials by means of a sewer system. 11) Water - Proofing: the act or process of making waterproof. 12) Pipes: a hollow cylinder or tube used to conduct a liquid, gas, or finely divided solid. 13) Mesh: an interwoven or intertwined structure; network. 14) Limitless: having no limit or limits. 15) Hardscape Construction: in the practice of landscaping, refers to the paved areas like streets & sidewalks. 16) Deck: a platform extending horizontally from one side of a ship to the other. 17) Stresses: are applying forces of compression or tension on a solid. 18) Slabs: a broad, flat, thick piece, as of stone or cheese. 19) Spring: an elastic device, such as a coil of wire, that regains its original shape after being compressed or extended.
